Rumors
Jessica was ultimately stressed. Not only that but she started getting depression. Ray was worried she was going to turn into Jenny. But Jessica would doubt it and she would keep on working hard for the remaining children, for their older brothers and sisters. They soon ran out of clothing and their clothes would get all dirty, covered in mud and ripped everywhere. She soon found a room filled with mannequins and decided to use them. She would design clothing and eventually gave the children new bright clothing. She would leave the left over designs on the mannequins. This was a hobby that soon made her brightful and happy again.
Ray called her and told her that a few of their siblings got lost. She decided to go out and find them. When she did they were messing with the hooks they put up and told them not to use them because they were "supposed to make the bad people go back to the Devil's Kingdom". She told them that if they used the hooks on themselves they would go to the Devil's kingdom, so the children avoided going near them.
Since some of the children got lost she decided to get some Jack-in-the-box toys and decided to tinker with them a bit. She made them function on their own. If someone got near it it would go out and give out a loud laugh to alert her or Ray where they were. She made thousands of them and put them all around the private property with Ray helping alongside with her.
She designed them to look child appropriate to a child's eye when really it would look like a demon to a adult or teen. This way she could scare away trespassers and outsiders if they dared to walk in. When a jack-in-the-box would go off and none of the children were reported missing in their family throughout the property, she would take her favorite weapon and go out to find them. Her favorite weapon was a single mace. The property soon became known throughout the wilderness and it was rumored that Jessica was a killer.
She realized this rumor was reaching across the thicket to the point where the actual killers themselves would hear it. More people would start trespassing and more people would try to hurt her and the children, including Ray. She decided to think of something to terrify the outsiders. Make masks for her, Ray and her siblings. She made dozens of designs and gave each child a different mask, unique just for them. Her mask was the dullest but most creepy. Two dots where the eyes were and three eyelashes on each eye. A spiritless smile painted on the mask as well. She told them to wear them at all costs unless they were going to eat, drink, sleep or take a shower.
She adjusted the buildings to make them fit the children's and her atmosphere. A childish wonderland. She made the tiled floors like checkers, black and white. She made all the lights tinted with fuzzy flashing colors, green and red, blue and green, yellow and purple. She made sure each child wasn't colorblind or would feel dizzy or get sick over the color combination. None of them were. And she even started dropping sparkles on the ground here and there. She put wonderland clocks or a coo-coo clock in at least every stable building.
Jenny was gone for days and Jessica started suspecting her. She told Ray to go out of the property through the hatch and check if anyone would approached, and he would go back in and signal to her that someone was coming.
She waited days and days for something to happen. Something unfamiliar. She continued her job as a motherly sister to her siblings, but when she would fall asleep she would have dreams of her holding her mace and seeing the bodies of her once family in front of her. She tried to deny what the dream was telling her. But she knew it was true.
